Back Stitch Sewing Pattern| Learn And Try Out Those Eye Watching Backstitch Pattern

I learnt sewing backstitch but it wasn’t enough for me.  I want to do a fancy back stitch pattern. So I went to Hasan and asked him to show me some back stitch designs. 

Wanna see more patterns? Then let’s tag alone.

Back Stitch Pattern

The back stitch may look simple but in reality, you can make plenty of worthy Back stitch patterns with it. Let me show you some:

To do a simple back stitch pattern, bring your needle up through the fabric, sew one stitch 180 degree line, then go back 1 stitch length and repeat to create a continuous line of overlapping simple stitches. Make sure to maintain the right length of the back stitch.

Here are a few examples of simple patterns of backstitch:

1. Straight Line Pattern: Create a straight 180 degree line by stitching back through the fabric in regular intervals. 
2. Zigzag Pattern: Stitch the opposite direction of your backstitches to create a zigzag backstitch pattern. But the back of the back stitch would look kinda messy.
3. Wave Pattern: Stitch in a curved line to form wave-like patterns just like back tack stitch.
4. Lattice Pattern: Create a pattern by stitching horizontal(180 degrees) and vertical(90 degrees) straight stitches that intersect. You can also do a split backstitch to add an extra touch.

Since there is a lot to talk about. So here is the process of back stitching alphabet patterns in the table:

Letter	Instructions
A	Start at the bottom left, stitch diagonally up to the top (45°), then stitch down to the bottom right (180°). Finally, stitch a horizontal line in the middle (0°).
B	Start at the top, and stitch a vertical line down (90°). Then stitch a small semi-circle from the top right to the middle (0°, 180°), and another from the middle to the bottom right (0°, 180°).
C	Start at the top, and stitch a semi-circle from left to right (0°, 180°).
D	Start at the top, and stitch a vertical line down (90°). Then stitch a semi-circle from the top right to the bottom (0°, 180°).
E	Start at the top, and stitch a vertical line down (90°). Stitch three horizontal lines at the top (0°), middle (0°), and bottom (0°).
F	Start at the top, and stitch a vertical line down (90°). Stitch two horizontal lines at the top (0°) and middle (0°).
G	Start at the top, and stitch a semi-circle from left to right (0°, 180°). Then do shorter stitches 90° line to the right at the bottom (90°).
H	Start at the top, and stitch two vertical lines down (90°). Stitch a horizontal line in the middle (0°).
I	Start at the top, and stitch a vertical line down (90°).
J	Start at the top, and stitch a short vertical line down (90°). Then stitch a semi-circle from the bottom left to bottom right (0°, 180°).
K	Start at the top, and stitch a vertical line down (90°). From the middle, stitch a diagonal line up to the right (45°), then another down to the bottom right (135°).
L	Start at the top, and stitch a vertical line down (90°). Stitch a horizontal line at the bottom (0°).
M	Start at the bottom left, and stitch a vertical line up (90°). Stitch a diagonal line to the top middle (45°), then another to the bottom right (135°). Finally, stitch a vertical line down (90°).
N	Start at the bottom left, and stitch a vertical line up (90°). Stitch a diagonal line to the bottom right (45°). Stitch a vertical line up (90°).
O	Start at the top, and stitch a complete circle (0°, 180°).
P	Start at the top, and stitch a vertical line down (90°). Stitch a semi-circle from the top right to the middle (0°, 180°).
Q	Start at the top, and stitch a complete circle (0°, 180°). Stitch a short diagonal line from the bottom right (45°).
R	Start at the top, and stitch a vertical line down (90°). Stitch a semi-circle from the top right to the middle (0°, 180°). Then stitch a diagonal line from the middle to the bottom right (45°).
S	Start at the top, and stitch a semi-circle from left to right (0°, 180°). Stitch another semi-circle from the middle to the bottom left (180°, 0°).
T	Start at the top, and stitch a horizontal line (0°). Stitch a vertical line from the middle down (90°).
U	Start at the top left, and stitch a vertical line down (90°). Stitch a semi-circle from the bottom left to bottom right (180°, 0°). Then stitch a vertical line up (90°).
V	Start at the top left, and stitch a diagonal line down to the middle (45°). Stitch another diagonal line up to the top right (135°).
W	Start at the top left, and stitch a diagonal line down to the middle (45°). Stitch another diagonal line up to the middle right (135°). Stitch another diagonal line down to the bottom middle (45°). Finally, stitch another diagonal line up to the top right (135°).
X	Start at the top left, and stitch a diagonal line to the bottom right (45°). Then stitch another diagonal line from the top right to the bottom left (135°).
Y	Start at the top left, and stitch a diagonal line to the middle (45°). Then stitch a vertical line from the middle down (90°).

To do back stitch numbers pattern, you just need to draw the number and continue according to the line. Here is how:

1. Number 1: Sew straight 180 degree lines with back stitch. And it doesn’t need much of thread.
2. Number 2: Stitching 45 degrees across the entire shape of the number, maintaining a consistent angle and spacing between basic stitches.
3. Number 3: Start at the center of each loop, sew a small circle, then move outward, sewing larger circles around the initial one.
4. Number 4: Continue sewing squares, alternating between filled and empty squares to create the perfect pattern.
5. Number 5: Sew a straight (180 degree) line from the central point to the outer edge of the number 5.
6. Number 6: Stitching the wave pattern until the entire number 6 is filled or outlined as desired.
7. Number 7: Sew the outline of the shape using a backstitch. For a triangle, sew three sides; for a square, sew 4 sides in continuous stitch lines.
8. Number 8: Continue sewing intersecting diagonal (45 degree) lines throughout the entire number.
9. Number 9: Sew in a 9o degree pattern within the number shape.
10. Number 10: Combine different patterns for ‘1’ and ‘0’ within the same design.

Wanna do something that will catch other people’s attention? Then backstitch embroidery is what you need. You can even use back stitch in cross stitch to make those patterns stand out. Its easygoing technique makes it perfect for embroidery work. Here are some embroidery ideas:

1. Floral Designs: Sew petals and leaves in a repeating pattern around the number.
2. Animal Silhouettes: Outline animal shapes within the number using a backstitch.
3. Nature Scenes: Create scenes like mountains, trees, or rivers inside the number.
4. Seasonal Themes: Incorporate elements like snowflakes, leaves, flowers, or sun within the number.
5. Metropolitan of Paris: Sew landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or street scenes within the number. Back stitch entire project.

Start by crocheting a smooth, even piece. Thread a crochet hook with yarn or thread and knot the end. Bring the sharp needle up from the back at your starting point, then insert it back down a stitch length away. Or you would do whipped back stitch in this part.

Continue bringing the needle up a single stitch length ahead and back down into the end of the previous stitch to form a continuous line. Keep doing this up to the until.

Here are a few crochet backstitch pattern ideas:

1. Text and Letters: Use backstitch to embroider names, quotes, or initials onto your crochet piece.
2. Borders and Outlines: Add a decorative border or outline to your crochet sewing project for a finished look.
3. Simple Shapes: Embroider hearts, stars, circles, or other simple shapes to embellish your work.
4. Floral Patterns: Stitch flowers and leaves onto a crochet background for a nature-inspired design.
5. Geometric Patterns: Create patterns like chevrons, triangles, or squares to add visual interest.

To crochet a Back Garter Stitch pattern, work single crochet stitches into the back loop of each stitch across every row. This creates a textured, ribbed effect similar to garter stitch in knitting.

Wanna know some backstitch patterns? Here you go:

1. Scarves and Cowls: Create cozy scarves or stylish cowls with a textured, ribbed design. This is perfect beginner embroidery stitches.
